Samba shares with default security mode are not found.

[prl]

Samba shares with default security mode are not found. When Samba security is left at the default setting (security = user), the T3 will not find any CIFS shares on a server. Switching Samba config to use "security = share" will work with T3. The CIFS client should work in either security mode to be compatible with the widest possible selection of servers. Existing Beyonwiz products work with "security = user", so T3 should as well.

Reproduction steps

On Samba server:

root@server: cat /etc/samba/smb.conf



[global]



workgroup = WORKGROUP



read only = yes



guest ok = yes







[Pictures]



path = /home/peteru/Pictures

Does not show the server as having anything exported.

Attempt at literal formatting of text failure. Will re-enter. Should be removed.
